German company Proxima Fusion has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with utility major RWE, the region of Bavaria, and the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) as it delivers a roadmap to build a nuclear fusion plant.

In January, the company laid out plans to build a test reactor called Alpha in Garching, to build a commercial scale fusion reactor plant called Stellaris within 15 years at a nuclear site at Gundremmingen being decommissioned by RWE, and to build a commercial reactor using laser-based technology in southern Bavaria.
